U.S. Marines battle militants in offensive against insurgents
2005-06-18
U.S. Marines along with Iraqi troops have opened anther anti-insurgent campaign, this one near Baghdad. Operation Dagger includes about 1,000 Marines and Iraqi troops, backed by fighter jets and tanks. And this one is targeting weapons cache and training sites. Meantime, Operation Spear, continues near the border with Syria. The military says so far that offensive has resulted in the killing of about 50 insurgents.

Elsewhere, the military said two U.S. soldiers transporting a detainee have been killed in an insurgent attack near Baghdad. It said another soldier was wounded and that the detainee and a civilian were killed. And, in Baghdad, a 10-year-old Iraqi girl was killed and two people were injured when a roadside bomb missed a passing American military convoy. Two Iraqis were injured when another roadside bomb missed another U.S. military convoy.
